Diet Cherry Chocolate Dr Pepper!

I write this review from the teeny computer lab at the baking campus of my culinary school. Ironic because in the commercials for this drink, they make it seem as if this new drink is some sort of cake.  A weird thing, a cake flavored soda?  For those that  dont frequent my culinary school blog, we are beginning to make pies next week in class and tonight i am finishing up eclairs and cream puffs! Anyhow, a cake flavored soda is a weird accompanyment, but i am thristy.  First thing that strunk my as kinda funny was that the bubbles were pink but the drink itself was dark brown! kinda neat, it gave it some girliness, so not sure this will be big this guys.  Thanks god i got it still cold (although the ONE exception is warm diet dr pepper which i know, sounds gross, but i swear is kinda pleasnat every now and then).  It was strange at first, i need a few swigs to give me definite opinion on this. It was not "diet-y" as is aspartame overkill in after taste, it tasted like ordinary dr pepper at first, but an after taste of chocolate soda.  I review a long while bak Canfield's chocolate soda and it reminded me a lot of that.  This soda is ok, better than diet coke (i hate diet coke for the record), not sure if i prefer this over the regular diet dr pepper (oxymoronic, no?) but its an interesting effort on their part. Kudos for the commercial for making the drink seem like a german chocolate cake!  Now i am off to stuff my eclairs!
